§ 10. Mr. Cooper-Keyasked the Minister of Labour whether he has considered the resolution, a copy of which has been sent him, passed by the National Council of Women, that it is in the best interests of the nation that the rewards of labour should be related to the work done, and not to the sex of the worker; whether he is aware of the demand amongst feminine organisations in favour of the rate for the job; and at what date he will make an announcement of the Government's policy on this subject.
§ Mr. IsaacsI would refer the hon. Member to the statement made in the House on 11th June, 1947, by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, to which I have nothing to add.
